[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks so much for the responses.  Good to hear encouraging things about both the academics at Lewis & Clark and the social scene at W&M.  It's probably true that our DC has two great options (this is assuming, of course, that they actually get the Posse scholarship at L&C, which I believe they have a 50% chance of getting as a finalist).  It's just stressful to have to decide this in such a short-time frame.  And I have to keep reminding myself that college is more about the right fit for my DC than the school I think might be the best -- such a hard thing to navigate.  [/quote]

Lewis and Clark is fine, but it's the lowest ranked out of similar LACs in the area. Whitman, Reed, Willamette, and Puget Sound are all ranked higher. The L&C campus is gorgeous, but kind of isolated in a suburban neighborhood. IF you want a PNW LAC, all of those schools will offer comparable financial aid. Willamette has a better location (across the street from the state capitol building!) with better internship opportunities.  Reed has a better reputation, but a more intense, grinding academic environment that isn't for every student. Puget Sound is in a better neighborhood and has a better campus community for students.  Whitman is better academically but it's a long way from everywhere. [/quote]

Enough with the overemphasis on rank. It is truly meaningless. [/quote]
